READ THE FULL L'ETAPE CHILE BY TOUR DE FRANCE REVIEW →
Tour de France debut on Chile's southern coast.
L'Etape Chile debuts on Chile's southern coast, from Niebla into Valdivia's river valleys on smooth asphalt with occasional chipseal. Gentle rollers through rainforest replace sustained climbs — 1,804 m spread across 110 km rather than concentrated in one effort.
For the experienced rider training seven to eleven hours a week, this twelve-week plan spaces demanding sessions with deliberate recovery, building the sustained rolling terrain and repeated gentle climbs L'Etape Chile's coastal route demands.
INSIDE THE MASTERS PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat protocols for when your race calls for them, peloton skills workouts, nutrition and hydration guidance, and recovery-first Masters 50+ structuring.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
